Job description
Full Time, Permanent
Location: 100 Temple Street / Hybrid Homeworking.
Are you an experienced Surveyor with a passion for enabling people to live safely and independently at home?
Do you thrive in a fast-paced, proactive environment where your decisions make a real impact on residents' lives? If so, this could be the perfect role for you.
About Us
Accessible Homes and TEC Hub is Bristol's cross-tenure, one-stop service that helps people access their home environment safely and confidently. We are a friendly, progressive, multidisciplinary team providing preventative and proactive solutions ranging from simple equipment provision to highly complex adaptations.
Our work is meaningful, varied, and deeply rewarding. We are looking for an Adaptations Surveyor who can bring technical confidence, fresh ideas, and strong customer focus to the team.
The Role
As an Adaptations Surveyor, you will design, specify, plan and oversee adaptations that enable residents to safely access and use the essential facilities within their homes. Much of our work in privately owned or privately rented homes is funded through the Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG), so you will also be involved in assessing, specifying and delivering adaptations within the DFG framework.
We are seeking proactive individuals who can take ownership, problem-solve creatively, and manage a varied workload with confidence. The responsibilities of the role are wide-ranging, and while we can tailor your initial focus depending on your existing experience, the postholder will be expected to work across all aspects of the service as needed.
